Reduce pain without the sideeffects associated with opioids.

Did a surgery fail to relieve your pain?

At MidSouth Pain Treatment Center, our goal is to identify the source of your pain, reduce that pain, and improve the overall quality of life of our patients.

Failed Back Surgery Syndrome, also known simply as Failed Back, refers to the chronic back and/or leg pain that is not relieved by, or is recurring as a result of a spinal surgery.

If you suffer from Failed Back, you are not alone. Up to 40% of patients who undergo traditional open back surgery suffer from Failed Back Surgery Syndrome. At MidSouth Pain Treatment Center, we understand that pain is a complex condition that affects every aspect of our patient’s lives. We provide a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to treatment, customizing the most effective treatment plans for our patients and empowering them to be a collaborative participant in their treatment.

“Failed Back Surgery,” “Failed Back Surgery Syndrome,” and simply “Failed Back” are umbrella terms used to describe chronic pain that starts or persists after spine surgery. To understand this cause of pain, it is important to remember that spine surgery serves a certain purpose. It solves a number of problems, but as any other tool, it has its limitations. The surgery itself can cause pain, and a surgical procedure may not be able to address all pain generators.

There are many changes that occur in the mechanics of the spine as a result of surgery and these can have significant effects on the spine. With Failed Back Surgery, the common complaint is chronic pain in the back and legs.
